Ahmed Hilal, deputy head of the electrical appliances division of the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, told Masrawy that the prices of all types of TV screens have fallen by about 30% during the past two months, thanks to the high value of the pound against the dollar.

Hilal added: “Prices fell gradually with the fall of the dollar price … The decline was about 15% on average during November and almost the same in December … And still the declines continue.”

The prices of television screens in Egypt are closely related to the exchange rate of the pound, where about 5% of the fully manufactured screens are imported from abroad, while the rest are collected from components, most of which are also imported, according to the data of the Electrical Devices Division.

The price of the dollar against the pound has witnessed a noticeable decline in banks since the beginning of 2019, to drop by about 187 piasters, by 10.4%, where the average price in banks yesterday reached 15.99 pounds for purchase, and 16.09 pounds for sale, according to central bank data.

Hilal added, that despite the decline in screen prices at these high rates, turnout is still moderate.

Local consumption rates in many goods and services are still suffering due to the weak purchasing power of citizens during the past three years after the pound floated in November 2016, which lost half of its value.

In an attempt to move the market, major stores and merchants announce cuts in the prices of devices in order to move demand, the latest of which was Carrefour offers that are very popular on television.
